GlacialTech Igloo 5750

GlacialTech isn't a household name for most enthusiasts, because unlike most companies that seek to make the most glamourous products GT is busy making the most affordable. So it's no surprise that the GlacialTech Igloo 5750 is meant for enthusiasts who want more for their money. Comprised of two 92mm fans in a horizontal push/pull configuration, the Igloo 5750 offers very good performance with very low fan noise levels.

While it is possible to exchange the two 92mm fans for another brand, it would be difficult to retain the integrated wiring loom that GlacialTech provides with the Igloo. Additionally, the standard push-pin clip system is going to only satisfy the basic compression needs betwen the mating surfaces. Essentially, the Igloo 5750 is an entry-level product for enthusiasts not needing extremely-customizable options on their cooler.

GlacialTech has integrated four heatpipe rods in the Igloo 5750, which span from the base into the heatsink. Unlike some coolers, GlacialTech has fashioned the base of the Igloo into a standalone heatsink as well, giving a small level of added performance to the product.

Although it may not seem desireable, the pre-applied thermal paste actually performed extremely well - nearly matching the OCZ Freeze we used for testing.
